Cowl Love

Anything that makes me look less than the exhausted mother I am is great in my book.  I have always been envious of my husband who can put on clothes and look ready for the day.  I instead must go through a daily beauty routine before I'm presentable.

So here comes my cowls, I ADORE them.  They make me look elegant and well but together, no matter if I'm wearing coat or T-shirt.  That's a big help for all women.  I've been happily making some infinity cowl because I love the way they curl over the top of a coat but are also tucked underneath~~~ hence NO drafts of cold air!

I especially love to make the trim on my cowls.  I try to make it a something a little different.
Thanks for stopping by and leave some feed back!

Motivation

Little known fact....
I only completed one (yes 1) crochet project (a small pillow..tiny tiny like 2 x 2 inches) when I first learned at eight years old.

If I began anything else I ended up unhappy with it and ripped it out, balled up the yarn, and started over with something else, ripped it out......

So you could say I just needed the right motivation to complete something. =)

Here is M. modeling the new purple/gray scarf. She's just so darn cute to me I can't stand it. And it seems she LOVES to let mommy take pictures of her.

You can find this scarf by clicking here to go to the Etsy store.

This scarf took me about 4 days. Stripes are ohhhh so fun but they leave a lot to fix. Also B, her friend and myself had to take time out to do some bike riding.Before a great scarf comes the work in progress....

Special Delivery

Designing packaging for my scarves has been exceptionally fun! As fun as making the scarves. I am using recycled materials. Can you guess what this blue one is made out of?

I have just started selling them so we have a longgggg way to go to raise our portion of the surgery. All in all we can expect to pay around 3500.00 to 4000. That includes paying for the surgeon and the hospital portion. It will be an outpatient procedure but must be performed in the hospital. Not to worry I'm all for that!!

I mailed out 3 scarves today. In total we have sold 5 (thank you very much). Our journey continues with each crochet stitch.
For those of you who can't read my chicken scratch (grin). Here is what the note says:

This is just a simple scarf
But it has so much work to do.
Keeping your neck warm
And making you look great too!

Yours was just a simple purchase
But your gift has so much to do
It will give the gift of hearing to a man,
a father, a husband too!

Thank you for your purchases and I hope you enjoy these scarves for many years to come.
